The hieght of armour and romantic sybolism was without a doubt what we know today as the German Gothic Knight. This full suit is a replica of a 15thC style and has been designed to be 100% battle ready and made out of 1.6mm stainless steel so it wont corrode or rust easily. With little details like heart shaped peircings it would also make a great maintenance free show piece in any collectors home.
The suit is a standard, adjustable size.
It can fit many sizes between 5'10" and 6'6". This is because it is fitted using a series of buckles and adjustable straps. The chest plate can expand up to about 48". The only measurement that can be critical with this design is the distance of the greave between the sabatons and the polyens. In this case the greave is about 14" long.
